1. Legal intervieweing is not just about obtaining infromation. It helps establish an effective relationship with the client

2. Plan your interview, but leave enough flexibility and time for the client to be treated as an individual with a unique set of issues

3. Show empaty, rather than sympathy, with the client's situation

4. Pay attention to your behaviour when the client is speaking. Stay attentive and interested

5. Listen to the non-verbal signals the client sends out as well as the words they say

6. Clarify what the client tells you by paraphasing or questioning

7. Use silence to help you reflect on what has been said

8. If necessary, take notes to help you remember key information

9. Offer potential solutions to the client, but let them decide which course of action to pursue

10. Listen to the clients worries. Be clear about fees and timescales
